TURING, Alan. 'Rounding-off errors in matrix processes.' Offprint from: The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, vol. I, part 3. Oxford: 1948. 8° (237 x 158mm). 22pp., 287-308. Stapled self wrappers with printed overslip (light soiling to first leaf and with light stain penetrating to second leaf, light crease to overslip).
TURING'S ONLY PUBLISHED WORK ON THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING ENGINE. 'It required [National Physical Laboratory] permission for him to publish. KCC [Turing archive, King's Coll., Cambridge] contains a letter from Sir Charles Darwin to Turing, dated 11 November 1947, acknowledging the copy submitted to him for approval. "I must say that I read it through with some attention and interest, but spent most of my time cursing you for giving me a perfectly smudgy copy to read. Next time I hope somebody else and not myself [will] be the sufferer, but I think the best plan would be to get some better carbon paper"' (Hodges p. 560 n6.47).
